Tips to Improve Your Furnace Efficiency in West Valley

11/12/2015

It’s getting colder in West Valley, which means your furnace will be working overtime for you for the next few months. It’ll keep you nice and cozy, but that could be hard on your wallet. How efficient is your furnace?

The energy efficiency of your furnace affects everything from your comfort to your wallet to our environment. Because energy efficiency is so important to so many things, we’ve compiled some easy tips for you that can help you keep your furnace working efficiently:

Change your furnace filter: people forget to check and change their furnace filters often enough, which is bad news because this is most likely the most straightforward thing you can do to keep your furnace running efficiently and help improve your indoor air quality. Simply set a reminder to check it routinely and change it if it’s getting clogged.

Adjust your thermostat settings: turning your thermostat down just a few degrees lower than you typically have it can help you save money on your heating bill without damaging your comfort.

Use a programmable thermostat: if you don’t want the hassle of fine-tuning your thermostat every day or trying to remember to set it before a vacation, you’d benefit from a programmable thermostat. It can help you save money by automatically lowering the temperature in your home when you’re away or when you’re sleeping.

Install weatherstripping: sealing around your doors and windows can help hold warm air inside your home. Check your doors and windows and install new weatherstripping where needed and re-caulk any areas that need it.

Everyone likes to be comfortable, even if it’s not outside. These tips can help make your home comfort more affordable by improving the efficiency of your furnace.
